On a Day Like This

I was born in October, and have always felt that the weather of a north Texas October is a gift to me, personally. Back in 1990, while in Austin at U.T., I noticed that the October weather was similarly particularly fine. And I jotted down a little something:

On a day like this, I can run faster. I can jump higher. I can see farther. On a day like this, I can think faster. I can smile easier.I can forgive quicker.On a day like this, Coffee tastes better.Grass smells sweeter.Work's more rewarding. On a day like this, I can love my life, And those who love it with me.*

I'm a fellow October birthday, and I still contend that October is the month that can be relied on to produce the best weather of the year. Less chance of rain than the spring, a cleaner feel to the air, the beautiful fall colors, and fresh apples to enjoy. Warm enough during to day to be shirtsleeve weather, but pleasantly cool at night.

And likewise, I met my wife in October too. It's just a good month of the year.
